Chapter 362: Chinese Patent Medicine
Shi Bufan established the Tang Dynasty court to decentralize the coinage power in order to meet the need for more currency. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info However, it is very clear that this decentralization of coinage is actually a palliative rather than a cure. Because this method only reduces the cost of management, it does not really reduce the value of the material. The value of the material copper ore is still unsolvable, with the current technical conditions are unsolvable.
The same is true of physical money, where the value of materials often accounts for the main value of the currency, which is absolutely impossible to save. If you want to solve this problem, even after the gold standard, it cannot be completely solved, and it can only be truly solved when it comes to the credit standard, that is, the paper money standard.
However, Datang does not currently have the conditions to achieve the paper money standard, once the paper money standard is rashly implemented, the anti-counterfeiting technology is not up to standard, and a large number of counterfeit banknotes will inevitably appear. Even the imperial court itself could not contain the desire to print more money, and finally caused the currency to depreciate and collapse extremely, so it could only take one step at a time.
The gluttonous beast of productivity has been released by Shi Bufan, and Datang can only follow the speed of the productivity race and then carry out reforms. If the pace of reform is slower than the speed of the progress of the productive forces, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed in a vigorous and violent adjustment, a process called "revolution". This is the general trend of historical productive forces, and there will not be any special preferential treatment or special discrimination just because this country is called the Tang Dynasty, or the Great Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, or even the Qing Dynasty.
"History is merciless!" Shi Bufan also sighed with emotion, now only by racing against history, only by running faster than the torrent of history, can we be truly temporarily safe.
Shi Bufan returned home and asked directly: "Are there any guests today?" ā
"Husband, you are looking for you in the former subordinates of Simen Division!" Qin Jiarui said.
"I've seen Shi Chang!"
"Zhang Peng, is that you?" Shi Bufan asked.
This Zhang Peng knew Shi Bufan, who was almost beheaded by Li Shimin, but later cooperated with Shi Bufan to sing a counter-plot, and Shi Bufan gave him some money to do some business on his own. Anyway, he has no future in the imperial court, so it is better to move the dead and live, and then leave quickly to seek another path of development.
"Zhang Peng, why did you come to me today? What's the matter? Shi Bufan asked.
"Shi Caochang, I am not from the imperial court anymore, and I shouldn't have come to you in the middle of the night. But there are some things that I still have the cheekiness to ask you for help! Zhang Peng said.
"What do you want to do?" Shi Bufan asked.
"Shi Caochang, I want to borrow money from Miss Qin, that is, a loan. But I don't have a mortgage, so Miss Qin can't lend me money casually, so I hope you two can help me say a few words! Zhang Peng said.
"What business do you do? Didn't you give almost hundreds of dollars last time? How is it not enough? Shi Bufan asked.
"I've got some finished drug business now, and I want to do a finished drug business. Since my wife and children are sick, I don't have the money to heal, so ...... Well, let's not talk about the past. Later, Cao Chang implemented medical insurance and reimbursed the cost of medicines, and the people dared to use drugs when they saw a doctor. However, I found that the doctors were very busy, often from morning to evening. And I wondered if I could make a finished medicine and sell it according to a certain finished drug. In the future, if you are sick, you can directly buy finished medicines, without the need for doctors to adjust prescriptions one by one, which saves a lot of time and allows more people to see a doctor. So I spent money to invite a lot of doctors to join forces to develop finished drugs, and now there are some results, but the money is almost gone, and after applying for a patent from the imperial court, there is no money to produce, so I came to borrow money. ā
"Oh? Proprietary Chinese medicine business? "It's quite a surprise.
Isn't this the business of Chinese patent medicine, someone actually thought of doing the business of Chinese patent medicine. I have to say that once the mind is opened, then the Chinese are not stupid, as long as they are given a platform, then they will come up with a lot of things on their own, and they do not have to do everything themselves. Shi Bufan just gave them a platform to work on their own.
This proprietary Chinese medicine business is actually a good business. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates the use of drugs according to the disease and prescribes the right medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine flourished here, but at the same time, it also began to decline. This is because it is obviously not convenient to prescribe the right medicine for the situation, and it is obviously not convenient for many military administrations that are not serious. It is impossible for everyone to see a doctor regularly, and it takes a lot of time to see a doctor, which is far worse than taking a pill.
Chinese patent medicine has largely made up for this shortcoming, but the development of Chinese patent medicine is obviously slow, and even in traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese patent medicine has a relatively low-key status. However, Chinese patent medicine is convenient, this is for sure. Modern medicine in the West relied on convenient medicine, rapid diagnosis and treatment, and gained a lot of markets, suppressing the so-called traditional Chinese medicine.
As a result, in the 21st century, the issue of traditional Chinese medicine was deliberately brought up by a large group of people, as if they were deliberately provoking the battle between Chinese and Western medicine, deliberately complicating the problems of Chinese and Western medicine, giving Zheng Zhihua a patriotic hat. To say that Chinese medicine is not good is to be unpatriotic, and to tout the benefits of Western medicine is to be a foreign slave, which is completely politicizing medicine.
Shi Bufan really can't understand how these people's brains grow, is there a difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine? In fact, there is no difference in essence, they are all for the sake of solving the problem of human evil, since the ultimate goal is the same, then why do you insist on making water and fire incompatible?
Also, there is no difference between Chinese and Western medicine in essence. The Nobel Prize in Medicine alumnus was an alumnus who studied integrated Chinese and Western medicine. The artemisinin she extracted was said to be a triumph for Chinese medicine, but it didn't seem to be the case. Because he uses **** and the extraction methods commonly used in Western medicine to extract, he uses the so-called methods commonly used in Western medicine. However, she also sent a letter from the historical classics of Chinese medicine to artemisinin, but it is also possible to say that it is Chinese medicine.
Regarding the ancient method of extracting artemisinin, it is the method of cold brewing, which cannot be heated, and the juice is pressed with cold water. So how to squeeze juice with cold water is traditional Chinese medicine, and extract it with ****, isn't it just a difference in means? The means of extraction are different, but in fact, the same artemisinin essentially works.
Therefore, whether it is the use of decoction in traditional Chinese medicine to extract the active ingredients of drugs, or the use of various mechanical or chemical methods in Western medicine to extract the active ingredients, is there a real difference? Because it is the same drug ingredient that works, there is actually no difference.
As for saying that Western medicine is chemistry and Chinese medicine is not chemistry, this is not extraordinary. Even Shi Bufan, a liberal arts student, learned in junior high school that everything in the world is made up of chemical elements. First of all, the water that people drink is chemical, the starch and glucose in the food they eat are chemical, and even the human bones, muscles, and the whole life body are chemically composed. Some people actually say that Chinese medicine has nothing to do with chemistry? The advertisements for health care products on TV all seem to have a grudge against chemistry, saying that they don't have any chemical elements, which is really laughing off.
Therefore, there is no difference between Chinese and Western medicine in essence, both of which use various methods to extract effective ingredients in public from something to carry out the process of destroying pathogens. Traditional Chinese medicine tends to use hot water decoction as the main method, and later modern Western medicine has adopted more ways to extract effective drug ingredients, which is essentially for the purpose of extracting effective drug ingredients.
"This kind of stupidity is all about extracting effective drug ingredients to cure diseases and save people, and it turns out like this. The essence of Chinese and Western medicine is that there is no difference between kindness and harmony, but the method of extracting active ingredients is different, so it is buckled with various hats. Politicizing medical issues and denying people medical treatment? Chinese medicine is not a god, and Western medicine is not a devil, in fact, it is essentially the same thing. Shi Bufan thought.
Shi Bufan thinks that this is actually a kind of reversing black and white, Chinese and Western medicine are just different means of extracting active ingredients, but their essence is to cure diseases and save people. Some fools "deify" the means, but weaken the ends. deified the means, but disdained his real purpose of curing the sick and saving people. In short, even if Western medicine can cure diseases, it is not good, no matter how bad Chinese medicine is, it is also its own and sacred, if anyone praises Western medicine is a foreign slave, and it is unpatriotic to say that Chinese medicine is not good.
For this kind of person, Shi Bufan is speechless! Many people have a pathological protection of the so-called Chinese tradition, but they seriously ignore the essence of these things. Chinese martial arts seem to have been mythologized, desperately trying to say good things about Chinese martial arts, and even grieving for the loss of Chinese martial arts as a whole.
But isn't Chinese martial arts just a technique developed by our ancestors in order to protect themselves and defeat the enemy? The ancients learned martial arts to protect themselves and defeat their enemies. If there is a better means to protect yourself and defeat the enemy, then why do you need martial arts? Just ask modern soldiers if they're willing to spend time learning martial arts or give them a gun to go into battle. Even in ancient times, soldiers in ancient times would rather choose firearms than martial arts. Martial arts are just a "means" to protect yourself and defeat the enemy, not an end! The idea of inverting the end and the means is really brain-dead!
It's like not looking at Western medicine in order to support Chinese medicine, and would rather die of illness than Western medicine? This is the act of inverting the ends and the means.
"Very good, mud monkey idea, I am very supportive. How much money do you want, I'll help you go and talk to Jia Rui, you put into production as soon as possible, so that you can make a profit as soon as possible. After having enough profits, then we can't lie on this patent and eat together, but we have to continue to research and use more methods to extract more active ingredients. ā
"For example, you can take a closer look at why ginseng is useful. Does ginseng have to be decocted to eat? You can first discover the active ingredient in ginseng and then determine what exactly is working on it. If you find out what the ingredients of this ginseng are, you can consider extracting it by a method that is not a decoction! You don't have to stick to frying it with hot water, you can also use other methods to extract it, this is also up to you. ā
"As long as you can seriously find a way to extract the active ingredients of various drugs through various methods, this will not only make it more convenient for people to take medicine. Even figuring out what exactly the ingredients of these plants and animals are working, you can consider obtaining them in other ways. For example, if you figure out what the ingredients of ginseng are working, then you can consider getting it from other animals and plants, so you can get it from cheaper materials, so that more people can afford to eat ginseng? ā
Zhang Peng immediately said: "Okay, Shi Cao Chang, I will work hard." If the real active ingredients of those precious medicinal materials are clarified in the future, then other things can be extracted, so that more people can be better cured. If this effective ingredient can be made in other ways and the price can be reduced a lot, it will really be affordable for ordinary people, and that is a great thing! I will work hard to live up to the expectations of the time. ā
The tent left with a loan agreement of one cent and one thousand yuan, and this time Qin Jiarui did not collect any mortgage from Zhang Peng, which was the highest amount of the first unsecured loan. If it is an unsecured loan, it will not exceed five yuan in principle, but this one thousand yuan is definitely the largest number of the first unsecured loan. Qin Jiarui is not so much giving Zhang Peng face, but giving face to his husband and trusting his husband. Of course, this 1,000 yuan is also shared by the Datang Money Village Federation, and it is not Qin's money village itself, otherwise the risk is too great.
"Jia Rui, you said that I extracted the active ingredients through various methods, not limited to the method of decoction of hot water, do you think someone will scold me back?" Shi Bufan asked.
"Husband, healing and saving people, your merits are higher than the sky, how can someone scold you?" Qin Jiarui said.
Shi Bufan said: "Some people may think that if I let him extract the active ingredients of drugs through various means, not limited to using our traditional methods in the past, someone will scold me!" Someone scolded me, I was a traitor****, and I was a lackey of a foreigner! ā
"As long as you cure the disease and save people, then any means can be used, and what means can be distinguished? To cure the disease and save people, as long as it can be cured, it is unscrupulous. Since it is to cure diseases and save people, it is still tied by so many rules and regulations, and the means are restricted, isn't this a fool? Treating diseases and saving people by unscrupulous means should be praised! Is there anything more precious in this world than life? If the means of curing the disease and saving people are still restricted, it is really reversing the means and the end. Even if foreigners have a better treatment than us, what does it matter if we follow along. Even Confucius didn't say that if you are not ashamed to ask questions and threesomes, you must have my teacher. Even if there are a few foreign barbarians who have better means than us, then what is the shame of us to learn them? Knowing that he is backward and still holding on to his shortcomings, that is the real fool. Confucius did not object to taking the initiative to learn from foreigners, as long as he chose those who were good and followed them, and those who were not good should be changed. Qin Jiarui said.
Shi Bufan nodded and said: "I hope that in this world, there are fewer fools who invert the ends and means!" (To be continued.) )
